Spent last weekend at the Hoquim River RV Park with a group of folks we know and I loved the park, although it was rather on the pricey side and like most RV parks, little privacy as folks are packed rather like sardines in a can. But it was on the Hoquim River and had a wonderful trail.

 Not all RV Parks have great little trails to walk

 

 Hoquim was lumber country and this river was used to move the lumber to the mill. Mother Nature is trying her best to turn this all into dust

 A gentleman I was talking to told me there were river otters but we never saw one. There was a beautiful Great Blue Heron nesting in a tree and a tiny Spotted Sandpiper though

 Nice treat for a weary walker

 

Next week heading for Hoquim WA for the weekend. Not much of a trip but going with friends and that will be fun. Just hope that the weather holds. Heading south this winter, I've got the 29th of January circled on the calendar. Thats right after Sumo is over, can't miss that. And the plan is, since it's in the dead of winter, to just head south via the Oregon Coast. There are tons of campgrounds along the coast and if the weather gets bad, we'll pull in and wait it out. Got the trip planned as far as Beale AFB in Yuba City

 Wichita NWR just west of Ft Sill is an awesome place to visit.

 

 

 

 

 The town of Medicine Park has one very unique feature and that is the cobblestones that you see below the sign. In the early 1900's it was the best building material they could find, so they used it to build practically everything in town. My friend Vicky wanted just a couple and my many trips through the area, I couldn't fine even one.

 

 

 

 I was driving along the road and just happened to see this old fellow. Stopped the car and walked back and couldn't find it. Had to retrace my steps and there he was, taking advantage of the warm sun.
